Betrayal By A Friend
12 For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him; 13 But it is, thou, a man esteemed as mine equal, mine associate, and mine acquaintance; 14 So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.
